This might be a tough pill for sports fans like me to swallow, but swallow it I will because it’s better than nothing!

ESPN surveyed 1,000 sports fans and found that an overwhelming majority of fans would rather have sports sans fans than wait for spectators to gather again.

Nearly twice as many fans would prefer to watch televised sporting events without crowds than those who believe sports should only restart when fans can experience the game in person (65% vs. 35%, respectively). Furthermore, 76% say that they support the return of sports without fans in the stands if players were kept in hotels and their contact with others was closely monitored

This is a no brainer! Any sports is better than no sports!
